Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival Taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 145 kt with 11.5° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 674 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 647 m of runway left; then climbing at 1,570 fpm on average to 674 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,497 m runway.
Rolled from 87 m in, drifted 6.9 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 62 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 30 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 22× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 16 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 32 at LDRI Rijeka Airport in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 32, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,546 m, representing 62 % of the runway, and lifted off at 145 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 10°, including a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb commenced 1 mile north of Omisalj, rising from 1,006 ft asl to 6,893 ft asl, an increase of 5,887 ft achieved in 3 minutes while covering 10 nm.
A level cruise segment began 6 miles west of Njivice and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 6 nm.
The next climb started 5 miles south-west of Malinska, climbing from 7,417 ft asl to 36,007 ft asl, a gain of 28,590 ft in 18 minutes and spanning 133 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase originated 4 miles south of Ramingstein, lasting 7 minutes and covering 57 nm.
Descent commenced overhead LOWS Salzburg Airport, descending from 35,047 ft asl to 5,310 ft asl, a loss of 29,737 ft in 10 minutes while traversing 64 nm.
A brief cruise followed 1 mile north-west of Fraunberg, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
The second descent began over Wartenberg, dropping from 5,318 ft asl to 2,795 ft asl, a decrease of 2,523 ft in 2 minutes across 6 nm.
On final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 264.0° at 4 nm and 1,313 ft agl, then descended from 1,356 ft agl to 105 ft agl in 93 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 26R, which is 3,981 m long, the aircraft touched down with a threshold height of 71 ft agl and a threshold speed of 146 kt. The touchdown point was 378 m beyond the touchdown zone, the speed at touchdown was 134 kt, and the vertical rate was minus 410 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was very good. Local weather reported 11 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 149°, a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt tail-wind component. The total landing distance recorded was 1,461 m, representing 37 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained very good throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering a further 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 293 nm, required 53 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 2,401 kg of fuel.
